Steam-trap management

Identify traps that do not discharge condensate and non-condensable gases as intended, then repair or replace them.

01

What the measure changes

Identify traps that do not discharge condensate and non-condensable gases as intended, then repair or replace them.

02

Evidence required

Tagged trap register, trap type, pressure, duty, test method, observed condition, discharge route and operating hours.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Constraints and risks

Temperature alone may not establish failure. Use a method appropriate to the trap and service.

04

Possible applications

Sector membership does not establish feasibility. Confirm the actual process duty.
